[0034] Some embodiments of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the case of no conflict, the following examples and features in the examples can be combined with each other.

[0035] The spring arrangement device provided in the embodiment of the present application is used for arranging the spring before installation, ensures that the posture of the spring entering the installation area is uniform and correct, is beneficial to the spring assembly in the later stage, and improves the assembly efficiency of the spring.

[0036] In combination Figures 1 to 3 The spring arrangement device 100 comprises a feeding groove 110 and an identification assembly 120. The feeding groove 110 is used for conveying the spring 10. The spring 10 comprises a guide part 11 and an installation part 12 connected with each other, and the diameter of the guide part 11 is greater than that of the installation part 12. The identification assembly 120 is used for identifying the posture of the spring 10 in the feeding groove 110. If the posture of the spring 10 meets the installation requirement, the spring 10 is sent to the installation area; if the posture of the spring 10 does not meet the installation requirement, the spring 10 is sent to the arrangement area. The spring 10 in the arrangement area will enter the feeding groove 110 again for secondary identification. The spring arrangement device 100 can automatically identify the posture of the spring 10 before installation, so that the spring 10 with correct posture flows into the installation area, ensures that the posture of the spring 10 entering the installation area is uniform and correct, facilitates the subsequent assembly of the spring 10, is beneficial to improving the installation efficiency of the spring 10, and is beneficial to realizing the automatic installation of the spring 10. Moreover, the spring 10 with unqualified posture will enter the feeding groove 110 again for secondary identification, and through the cyclic identification, the spring 10 will not be wasted.

[0037] Optionally, the identification assembly 120 comprises a first blowing port 121 and a second blowing port 123. The first blowing port 121 is used for blowing the spring 10 with unqualified posture from the feeding groove 110 to the arrangement area. The second blowing port 123 is used for blowing the spring 10 with qualified posture from the feeding groove 110 to the installation area.

[0038] Optionally, the blowing direction of the first blowing port 121 is perpendicular to the feeding direction of the feeding groove 110. It can be understood that the feeding direction of the feeding groove 110 is the length direction of the feeding groove 110, and the blowing direction of the first blowing port 121 is the width direction of the feeding groove 110, so as to facilitate blowing the spring 10 with incorrect posture out of the feeding groove 110. Optionally, in order to facilitate the spring 10 moving out of the feeding groove 110, the feeding groove 110 is only provided with a groove wall 111 on one side, that is, the cross section of the feeding groove 110 is L-shaped, and the first blowing port 121 is arranged on the side with the groove wall 111, so that for the spring 10 with incorrect posture, the first blowing port 121 blows air flow, so that the spring 10 falls from the side without the groove wall 111 to the arrangement area.

[0039] The feeding groove 110 is arranged above the arranging area, and the spring 10 blown by the first blowing port 121 falls to the arranging area under the action of gravity. It can be understood that the spring 10 can directly fall to the arranging area, or fall to the transfer area and then move to the arranging area through the track arranged in the transfer area, which is not limited here.

[0040] It should be noted that the spring 10 in the embodiment is transported in a flat form on the feeding groove 110, and the posture is roughly two kinds. One is that the guide part 11 is in front and the mounting part 12 is in back. The other is that the guide part 11 is in back and the mounting part 12 is in front. The front-back direction here is defined as the conveying direction from the arranging area to the to-be-mounted area, and the direction towards the to-be-mounted area is front, and the direction towards the arranging area is back. The correct posture of the spring 10 is that the guide part 11 is in back and the mounting part 12 is in front.

[0041] In combination Figures 4 to 6 Optionally, the axial direction of the spring 10 is consistent with the feeding direction of the feeding groove 110, that is, the spring 10 is flat. The width of the feeding groove 110 allows the spring 10 to be conveyed on the feeding groove 110 one by one. The width of the feeding groove 110 corresponds to the diameter of the spring 10, and is slightly larger than the large end diameter of the spring 10, that is, the width of the feeding groove 110 is slightly larger than the diameter of the guide part 11 of the spring 10, so as to ensure that the spring 10 can move smoothly on the feeding groove 110. At the same time, the width of the feeding groove 110 is less than twice the diameter of the guide part 11, so that the spring 10 can be conveyed on the feeding groove 110 one by one.

[0042] The blowing height of the first blowing port 121 is between the upper surface of the guide part 11 away from the feeding groove 110 and the upper surface of the mounting part 12 away from the feeding groove 110. It can be understood that, if the groove bottom plane 113 of the feeding groove 110 is taken as a reference plane, the vertical distance between the upper surface of the mounting part 12 away from the feeding groove 110 and the groove bottom plane 113 is L1, the vertical distance between the upper surface of the guide part 11 away from the feeding groove 110 and the groove bottom plane 113 is L2, and the vertical distance between the first blowing port 121 and the groove bottom plane 113 of the feeding groove 110 is H, L1<H<L2. In this way, during the conveying of the spring 10 on the feeding groove 110, the airflow blown by the first blowing port 121 can only blow to the guide part 11 and cannot blow to the mounting part 12.

[0043] Optionally, the interval of the first blowing port 121 and the second blowing port 123 in the feeding direction is less than the length of the mounting part 12 in the feeding direction. The first blowing port 121 is located upstream of the second blowing port 123 in the feeding direction, that is, the first blowing port 121 is behind and the second blowing port 123 is in front.

[0044] As Figure 4When the spring 10 with correct posture passes through the identification assembly 120, the mounting portion 12 first passes through the first blowing port 121 and is not blown by the airflow of the first blowing port 121, and then the mounting portion 12 passes through the second blowing port 123 and is blown into the installation area by the airflow of the second blowing port 123. In this way, due to the acceleration of the second blowing port 123, the spring 10 quickly enters the installation area, and the guide portion 11 passes through the first blowing port 121 for a very short time, and the airflow of the second blowing port 123 acts on the spring 10, so that the spring 10 is not blown out of the feeding groove 110 by the airflow of the first blowing port 121.

[0045] As Figure 6 When the spring 10 with incorrect posture passes through the identification assembly 120, the guide portion 11 first passes through the first blowing port 121 and is directly blown out of the feeding groove 110 by the airflow of the first blowing port 121 and falls into the arrangement area and then enters the feeding groove 110 again for secondary identification. If the posture is still incorrect during the secondary identification, the spring 10 will be blown out of the feeding groove 110 by the first blowing port 121 again, and the process is repeated.

[0046] Optionally, the blowing direction of the second blowing port 123 is arranged at an angle with the feeding direction of the feeding groove 110. In the embodiment, the angle is about 30 to 40 degrees. In this way, the spring 10 with correct posture can be accelerated to enter the installation area in the feeding groove 110, and the spring 10 can also be prevented from being blown out of the feeding groove 110.

[0047] Optionally, the feeding groove 110 is provided with a protective cover 112 on the transmission path from the second blowing port 123 to the installation area, so as to prevent the spring 10 from being blown out of the feeding groove 110 under the acceleration of the second blowing port 123, limit the spring 10 in the feeding groove 110, ensure that the spring 10 accelerated by the second blowing port 123 can smoothly reach the installation area, and ensure that the posture of the spring 10 is still correct when entering the installation area.

[0048] Optionally, the first blowing port 121 and the second blowing port 123 are both located above the feeding groove 110. The second blowing port 123 can be arranged to be inclined relative to the horizontal plane, so that the airflow blown by the second blowing port 123 has two directional components on the spring 10, one is a component along the feeding direction for accelerating the movement of the spring 10, and the other is a pressing force on the bottom of the feeding groove 110 to ensure that the spring 10 does not deviate from the feeding groove 110, prevent the spring 10 from being blown out by the airflow of the first blowing port 121, and keep the posture of the spring 10 unchanged during movement.

[0049] It should be understood that the first blowing port 121 and the second blowing port 123 are always kept open during the conveying process of the feeding groove 110. In actual application, the conveying operation speed of the feeding groove 110 needs to be matched with the spring 10 picking operation speed of the subsequent installation area, or the conveying operation of the feeding groove 110 is intermittent to avoid excessive accumulation of the feeding groove 110 and cause blockage. When the feeding groove 110 stops conveying, the first blowing port 121 and the second blowing port 123 are closed. When the feeding groove 110 performs the conveying operation, the first blowing port 121 and the second blowing port 123 are kept open.

[0050] The identification assembly 120 in the embodiment matches the installation position of the first blowing port 121 and the structure of the spring 10, does not need sensor sensing identification, has reliable structure, is convenient to modify, has low cost, and is conducive to realizing automatic operation.

[0051] In combination Figure 7 Optionally, the spring arrangement device 100 further comprises a dispersing assembly 130, which is mainly used for separating a plurality of springs 10 into single ones, so that the single springs 10 move along the feeding groove 110 in sequence. The dispersing assembly 130 comprises a main vibrating disc 131, and a scattering belt 135 is arranged in the main vibrating disc 131, which is used for separating a plurality of springs 10 wound together into single ones; and a discharge port of the main vibrating disc 131 is connected with the feeding groove 110. After a large number of springs 10 are fed from the feeding groove 134 to the main vibrating disc 131, some springs 10 will inevitably be wound together. The scattering belt 135 rotates at high speed in the main vibrating disc 131, and hits the springs 10 to separate a plurality of springs 10.

[0052] Optionally, the discharge port of the main vibrating disc 131 is sequentially connected with a dispersing disc 132 and a buffer belt 133, and the buffer belt 133 is connected with the feeding groove 110. As shown in Figure 7 As shown by the arrows without labels in the figure, the separated springs 10 sequentially enter the dispersing disc 132 and the buffer belt 133 from the discharge port of the main vibrating disc 131. The dispersing disc 132 rotates at 360 degrees, and plays a role of buffering and further dispersing the springs 10. The buffer belt 133 is provided with a baffle, the baffle is provided with a through hole (not shown in the figure), the springs 10 can only pass through the through hole for single transmission when reaching the baffle, and then move into the feeding groove 110. After conveying along the feeding groove 110, the springs 10 enter the installation area after passing through the identification assembly 120. The buffer belt 133 plays a role of buffering, deceleration and single transmission.

[0053] It should be noted that for the spring 10 with incorrect posture on the feeding groove 110, after being blown out of the feeding groove 110 by the first blowing port 121, the spring 10 will directly fall into the main vibrating disc 131, or fall along a preset track and then move into the main vibrating disc 131, that is, return to the arrangement area.

[0054] The utility model embodiment further provides a spring assembly equipment, including spring installation device and preceding spring arrangement device 100, spring installation device is used for installing spring 10 of waiting installation area to waiting assembly component.

[0055] In the embodiment, the spring installation device and the spring arrangement device 100 are suitable for automatically installing the spring 10 during the compressor assembly process.

[0056] To sum up, the spring arrangement device 100 and the spring assembly equipment provided by the utility model embodiment have the beneficial effects of the following aspects, including:

[0057] The spring arrangement device 100 provided by the utility model embodiment is provided with the identification component 120 for identifying the posture of the spring 10 in the feeding groove 110.If the posture of the spring 10 meets the installation requirement, it is sent into the waiting installation area.If the posture of the spring 10 does not meet the installation requirement, it is sent into the arrangement area.The spring 10 in the arrangement area will enter the feeding groove 110 again for secondary identification.In this way, it can ensure that the posture of the spring 10 entering the waiting installation area is uniform and correct, facilitates the subsequent pickup and assembly of the spring 10, improves the assembly efficiency.Moreover, the spring 10 with unqualified posture will enter the feeding groove 110 again for secondary identification, improves the utilization rate of the spring 10 through cyclic identification, and will not cause material waste.The identification component 120 in the embodiment matches the installation position of the first air outlet 121 and the structural form of the spring 10, does not need sensor and other sensing identification, has reliable structure, is convenient to modify, is low in cost, and is conducive to realizing automatic operation.
